Had the best dining experience here at 21A! Everything we ordered was prepared to perfection. Loved the Wagyu Steak so much! Our server, Bryant, was amazing. Would definitely recommend and would visit again!

I felt like the chef must have genuinely cared about each meal that came out. Everything was delicious. I had the wagyu burger, she had the lobster and shrimp pasta. We shared a piece of the chocolate temptation cake — it was perfect.

What a hidden gem this place is!!! Great spot for a romantic intimate date night. Ended up here on a double date with close friends and we were so pleased. They had jazz music and a young gentleman singing who had a voice like Frank Sinatra. It just made the atmosphere so much more fun. The food was just so good and unique. The flavors and combinations were delicious. We ended up getting a bunch of appetizers because we couldn't decide and each one was amazing. The drinks were equally as pleasing and we were so happy with our server. Can't wait to go back.

My husband and I went for our anniversary dinner. We were so pleased with the beautiful setting, the delicious food and the fantastic and friendly service. The cocktails were delicious! My husband had the octopus and I had the salad for an appetizer. For dinner, he had the steak and I had the bolognese with a side of broccoli rabe. Everything was delicious. The creme brûlée was for dessert! We can’t wait to go again! Highly recommend!

Hidden gem in Long Branch! If you’re looking for an elevated dining experience with good food, it’s here. Drinks were really tasty and my favorite dishes were the whipped feta and seafood with pink sauce.

This restaurant has it all from excellent food, a beautiful atmosphere, and a nice staff. The owner was warm and welcoming and made sure we enjoyed our dinner. They start you with a delicious focaccia bread with olives and oil. For appetizers we had the the 21A salad and the crab cake. The crab was good, and the 21A salad was excellent. I absolutely loved the fried goat cheese it came with. For entrees we had the cavatelli topped with burrata with mushrooms and the lamb chops. Both dishes were excellent, and both were a generous portion. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked, and the mashed potatoes were topped with a delicious gravy. For dessert I had the lemon bread pudding which was to die for! You have to order it! The menu is very limited, but everything they had was excellent. I’d like to see a couple more dinner choices on the menu. We really enjoyed everything, and we plan on coming again soon. I highly recommend dining at 21A On Broadway in Long Branch!

Me and my friend who owns a instagram food account came here last night. I was highly impressed. The owner was super friendly and really took the time to talk to us. The service was also amazing. The server was very attentive and recommended us items on the menu. The food, was GREAT. I am someone who rarely gets blown away by food in Jersey (usually only Brooklyn food blows me away) but this restaurant BLEW me away. Everything was seasoned so well and had a great mix of flavors to it. The seafood wasn’t fishy and was fresh. The Brussel sprouts were my favorite our of the appetizers! Definitely would come back again!
